BUNGIE has more DLC incoming for Destiny 2 later this year - here's everything we know about the future of Destiny 2 so far, including everything important you could want to know about the forthcoming Forsaken DLC.

Destiny 2 Forsaken - Free Weekend

20th September 2018 - Activision has announced that Destiny 2: Forsaken’s Gambit mode will be open to all Destiny 2 players this weekend.

Bungie and Activision has announced the mode will be up and playable from Friday, September 21st at 6pm (BST) through Sunday, September 23rd 6pm (BST).

For those that don't know, Gambit is an all-new hybrid game mode for Destiny 2: Forsaken that combines the best of team PvE and PvP.

All Destiny 2 players will be able to jump into the game mode and give it a try over the weekend (ideal if you picked the game up for free via PS+ but haven't messed around with any of the Forsaken DLC yet).

You can check out a trailer for the game mode below.

Destiny 2: Forsaken

The next big DLC drop is called Forsaken and is due to launch on September 4.

This new DLC won't be part of any previous Season Pass content you may have bought, and will require a separate purchase on top of the base game in order to access. You can read more about purchase options below. You will not be able to access Forsaken without access to Destiny 2 and expansions I and II.

The DLC will introduce some massive changes to how Destiny 2 works, as well as introducing new modes, new missions and - of course - new gear. Bungie has stated that more work has gone into the endgame content of this DLC drop, in order to address players' biggest complaints about the title.

This shall include all the rumours about the game so far, as well as various development updates from the studio.

Destiny 2 Forsaken - What is it?

Here's a brief overview of the story, as per Bungie:

Following years of strife, what remains of the Reef has fallen to lawlessness. You and Cayde-6 are sent to personally investigate the recent unrest.

Upon arrival, you soon discover the most-wanted criminals in the Prison of Elders have organized an escape. Beyond the Vanguard’s authority, you’ll pursue these fugitives deep into the Reef. Explore new regions, awaken new powers, earn powerful weapons, and uncover long-lost Awoken secrets. The hunt is on.

Destiny 2 - Forsaken: How much does it cost?

Destiny 2: Forsaken will be available from UK retailers, with the product line-up also featuring; Destiny 2: Forsaken + Annual Pass, and the Destiny 2: Forsaken - Digital Deluxe Edition.

It was also announced that PlayStation gamers will get access to the following timed exclusive content: a strike, one gear set per class, a new ship and an exotic weapon.

At Destiny 2: Forsaken’s launch, the previously released Destiny 2 launch timed exclusives will be made available for all platforms.

For Destiny 2, Bungie will also be implementing a brand new “Annual Pass”, similar to that of Fortnite’s Battle Pass, giving players a year-long access to endgame content that isn’t attached to the larger expansions.

The Annual Pass will give Guardians access to the new weapons, areas, and raids from three ‘substantial additions to the game’ that Bungie has planned, and will cost extra on top of the Forsaken expansion.

Forsaken and the Annual Pass will retail for $70 - or $40 for just the Annual Pass.

Destiny 2 - Forsaken: Raid

Bungie has described the Dreaming City as ”like the Vault of Glass and Dreadnaught had a baby.”

Bungie added the Dreaming City is “Full of secrets to discover and bosses to defeat, this destination also houses the brand-new raid and is the first space designed from the ground up to support endgame content.”

The Dreaming City is full of nature and greenery, though this is likely all to change as the raid descends into chaos.

Dreaming City is supposedly an endgame area, entirely cut off from the rest of the game, with Guardians able to do other activities in the region other than the raid.
